Self-directed learning in the context of internationalization in TVET in Vietnam

This article focuses on self-directed learning for students. Nowadays, the rapid development of science and engineering, the explosion of information technology, emerging knowledge, technological and technical creations as well as the expansion of professions make self-directed learning an imperative skill for today's students. Promoting self-directed learning allows educators to cope with the battle between time for teaching and studying and the large amount of knowledge needed to provide to students. Self-directed learning is a learner-driven learning process that is determined by the needs, interests, and learning conditions of the individual. In addition, the self-directed learner actively identifies goals, implements plans, and evaluates learning outcomes. To satisfy the demand of training human resource for the industrial and modern workforce, trainers need adequate teaching content, teaching methods, studying methods, examination methods, reviewing methods and so on.

The research for this problem aims to help educators satisfy student motivation for finding and analysing knowledge. Self-directed learning is a teaching method that focuses on leaners and makes them active, independent, self-confident and goal orientated participants. Self-directed learning also helps educators obtain the goals and missions of schools and improves positivity and training quality in universities in the context of international integration.
